Work To Do

Now that men's tennis has secured the 100th NCAA team title in USC history, women's golf has a chance to push the Trojans towards their next milestone - 125 national championships (USC has 122 and counting). But, the Women of Troy have some ground to make up after two rounds at the NCAA Championships in Tulsa.

No. 1 USC sits in a fourth place tie at the midway point with rival UCLA at +24, which is nine strokes back of the leader, Oklahoma, the school men's tennis just beat for the title.

The Women of Troy have been paced by Doris Chen (67-72) who is in fourth place on the individual leaderboard at 1-under. Freshman Karen Chung stepped up with the round of the day shooting even-par 70, and she is tied for 16th individually (74-70).

Meanwhile, the Trojans two highest ranked players, Annie Park and Kyung Kim, are having trouble finding their rhythm in Oklahoma. Park, the defending individual champion, is at 10-over at the midway point, while Kim is 11-over. Senior captain Sophia Popov was the dropped score in each of the first two rounds shooting a pair of 79s.

USC is within striking distance and has the championship mettle to ascend the leaderboard. Thursday is officially moving day in Tulsa.
